In college we started on 1:30 SCY. the first 20 or so were boring, the next 5-6 were solid, and the last 10 or so were hell. I think i missed on 0:54 or 0:55 a couple of times, which is pushing a 4:45 last 500. To the OP- now I could do that set SCM, maybe adding on 3@1:15 on a good day, and I've swum a couple half distance swims no wetsuit at 27:00. I only swim about 2.5k meters 2x per week these days though...
We did the same thing as a test set. (we trained in SCY). I think my best was that I failed on the 58. Tough set. Not sure if you did it the same way, but we all started together and as you missed you got out of the pool. That year our good D swimmers had graduated, so I was the closest thing to a D guy on the menās side. I was the last man standing that year.
